EAST PROVIDENCE - After a long weekend spent fighting through calf-high rough and putting on washboard-fast greens, Michael Kim and Michael Weaver are safely at Wannamoisett Country Club in Rumford and preparing for this week's Northeast Amateur.

Kim, the Jack Nicklaus Award recipient as the top collegiate player for the University of California, was the top amateur at the U.S. Open at Merion. He shot 73-70-71-76 for a +10 finish and a tie for 17th overall. Kim was in the top five for a spell on Saturday before falling back into the pack a bit.

Weaver, Kim's college teammate, was the runner-up in the 2012 U.S. Amateur and just completed his junior year at Cal. He also made the cut at Merion and finished 21-over par with rounds of 74-74-78-75. A third Cal Golden Bear, Max Homa, was the medalist at the NCAA Tournament and is also playing in the Northeast. Cal won 11 team tournaments, including the Pac-12 Championship, but lost to Illinois in the semifinals of the NCAA team championship.
